Favourite Quote.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

We've got some of these in the other forums so I thought we should have one here.

What's your favourite line from the movie. Where is it and who said it. Why do you like it.

I have two. My first is Aragorn's line(s) at the Black Gate.
'Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come, when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields as the age of men comes crashing down. But it is not this day this day we fight. By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!'

And my second is Sam's at Osgiliath afte he saved Frodo, but that's even longer than the Aragorn one so I won't write it down.

What are yours?

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

I like the quotes by Theoden at the charge of the Rohirrim. "Sheild splintered, spears shaken" that one!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Pretty much like the one on my sig.

[ethuiliel]

My fave LotR quotes are in my sig, but they're in the book, and they're not what you asked for... my favorite quote in the movie is:

Sam:
I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turnin' back, only they didn't. They kept goin', because they were holdin' on to somethin'.

Frodo:
What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam:
That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fightin' for.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Thats the one I meant.

[Elessar the Elfstone]

well mine is aragorn's line at the end of FOTR

GIMLI: Then it has all been in vain, the fellowship has failed.
ARAGORN: Not if we hold true to each other we will not leave merry and pippin to torment and death, we travel light, Lets Go Hunt Some Orc!

but I also Like Aragorns speech before the black gate a lot

and theoden's speech

And pretty much every line sam has in the trilogy especially his line about the great stories

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

if you are talking strictly movie quotes, the 'white shores etc' quote is actually the first paragraph of Fog on the Barrow-Downs, but
phidgity-me-sprazzlephatz and so on

FotR:
It is in Men that we must place our trust now. [Gandalf]

TTT:
I think at last that we understand one-another, Frodo Baggins. [Faramir]

RotK:
For Frodo![Aragorn]
You shall not enter Gondor.[Aragorn (EE)]

plus many others besides

Aragorn: Are you frightened?
Frodo: Yes
Aragorn: Not nearly frightened enough

[bean]

Actually, it's just "Fly you fools!" and then Frodo does his girlish screaming.
Wow... I haven't posted here since October.
Anyway:
The "Merry's Simple Courage' scene in SEE. Only thing is, I don't remeber the lines.
Anything Bilbo says.

[Ingwe]

Bilbo: "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

Gandalf: "My dear Hobbits, my work is now finished. Here at last, at the shores of the sea, comes the end of our fellowship. I will not say 'do not weep', for not all tears are an evil."

[Jon S.]

Not sure if someone has quoted this one already but ...

Bilbo: Oh! I think I'm quite ready for another adventure!

I'll have to agree with Star on that one.
The line by Gandalf is hands down my favorite quote in the movie.
